Flawless

Every hero starts with power. He started with dust. One moment, the classroom buzzed with teenage chatter. The next, silence fell. Students blinked—and opened their eyes in an ancient hall carved from gold and marble. The air shimmered with divine magic. And at its center stood a goddess—flawless, proud, unbelievably beautiful and wrapped in flowing white. It was a divine summoning performed by a divine goddess. Among them was Vritra… and his stunningly beautiful mother. While others received blessings, powerful physiques and grand titles, Vritra was given a skill so pathetic it made even the goddess wrinkle her nose. An ability—so pitifully weak that it drew laughter, scorn, and even disgust. But that wasn't the worst part. Betrayed and cornered inside the labyrinth, Vritra had two choices: die… or fall into the death trap. A death canopy with no exit and no chance of survival, the only option was to slaughter the demons endlessly for months. Finally!! He forced his dormant skill to awaken, after killing thousands and hundreds of thousands demons and devouring them, becoming a broken ability. A dragon? A demon? What am I exactly? ****** White robes. Cold arrogance A sinful revenge. White robes can stain. And in the dark, even divinity can moan. And then there was his mo— guilt in her breath, shame in her eyes, whispering apologies between gasps in her son's ear, doing what had to be done… for both their sakes, giving birth to a morally wrong relation. ________________ Absolutely no NTR, none at all!!!

In a society obsessed with perfection, the beautiful rise and the flawed disappear. Julian Ash has always looked perfect—idol-worthy smile, flawless form, the kind of face that commands attention. But behind the stage lights and camera flashes is a darker truth: Julian doesn't have a heart. Not really. A machine hums inside his chest, a secret even he doesn't fully understand. As his body begins to fail, Julian and his imperfect idol group push for one last shot at stardom. But the deeper they step into the world of "perfect" idols, the more they uncover about the price of beauty. Behind every symmetrical face and surgically ideal body is a stolen piece of someone else—and a powerful underground network built to harvest those pieces. With time running out and his own body betraying him, Julian discovers that the girl who now holds his real heart was never meant to live—not at his expense. With the help of a rival idol, his fiercely loyal group, and the burning fury of truth, Julian ignites a revolution that threatens to bring down the entire system. He may not have a heart, but he will learn what it means to feel.

Rifts tore open across Earth, merging it with a nightmarish realm where demons and monsters poured through, plunging humanity into endless war. And in this new world, only women called "Blessed" awakened divine blessings, superhuman powers capable of fighting back the tide. At the heart of humanity’s resistance stood "Frontline Dawnbreak," the strongest party of SSS-tier Blessed, handpicked by the world’s governments to slay the Eternal Queen, the source of the rifts and the cause of mankind’s suffering. Among these godlike women was our protagonist, Mika. But unlike them, Mika had no blessings. He was a support-class assigned to handle the party’s critical support roles: planning, strategy, logistics, and keeping the team alive in battle. In a world where men were little more than shadows, Mika was seen as powerless. Yet despite his lack of strength, his brilliant mind, unshakable resolve, and flawless tactics earned him their trust and admiration. Over time, that respect grew into something deeper, a bond that tied them all together. Each of them, the strongest of humanity formed feelings for him. And Mika, too, found himself drawn to these women who fought beside him, bled beside him, and trusted him with their lives. Together, they were more than a party. They were family. But all of that changed in an instant. In the final battle against the Eternal Queen, Mika watched in horror as the women he loved, his comrades, his family, were slaughtered one by one. And as the Queen also fell, Mika, broken and consumed with rage, tore her still-beating heart from her corpse and screamed for the power to undo it all. And then it happened. The heart shattered in his hands. And Mika woke up sixteen years in the past. Back in his academy days. Back when he was still branded a powerless support-class. But this time, something was different. Deep within his chest, the Eternal Queen’s heart now pulsed, flooding him with unfathomable power. This time, Mika swore, none of them would die. This time, he would protect the women who loved him. And this time, he would crush the Eternal Queen before her war could ever begin.

They call him Ghost. A name whispered in fear across warzones, black markets, and underworld circles. To the world, he's a phantom—a faceless mercenary who leaves no trace but bodies in his wake. To his enemies, he’s a death sentence. To his brothers-in-arms in Graveyard, he’s family. But to himself... he's a haunted man searching for a past stolen in gunfire and smoke. After a flawless mission deep in the Eastern Province, Ghost returns to the hidden forest base he's called home for sixteen years. Yet the victory is short-lived. His foster father, the commander delivers an unexpected order: "That was your last mission." Now, Ghost—real name Miles Sterling—must step out of the shadows of war and into a world he’s never known. Guided only by a scarred letter, a fading memory, and the voice of a woman he hasn’t seen since the day everything was taken from him. But war forged more than his body and name. Behind the mask, behind the scars, Miles has another secret. One he’s kept hidden even from his brothers in arms. He’s not just a weapon. He’s a ghost with a fortune—a hidden empire he built in silence, across borders and black markets, forged in strategy and blood. A man of many names, and many shadows. Beneath the bullets, tattoos, and silence lies a truth buried in ashes. And Ghost is about to dig it up—one letter, one enemy, one memory at a time.

Stripped of his familiar dominance, Giovanno is just another face in a sea of titans, many of whom possess power he can barely comprehend. The very top, his rightful place, now seems impossibly distant. Apex Reclaimed follows Giovanno as he navigates a cutthroat world where his former glory counts for nothing. To truly reclaim his apex, he must adapt, evolve, and push his magical limits beyond anything he's ever imagined.

Sudden reappearance of Mytharok - a world cloaked in mystery and ancient claims - disrupts everything. The so-called guardians of cosmic balance emerge from obscurity, speaking of dangers beyond comprehension and trials resembling the beginning of recorded history. The chartered worlds need to brace themselves for the future. Caught in the current of the events are two reluctant figures. Fengyu, the disillusioned younger brother of a ruler, floats above it all with cultivated indifference. He claims to want nothing - no power, no purpose - but beneath his nonchalance lies a restless question: is his detachment freedom, or merely fear? He finds himself, against his will, 'sent' to the Temple of Mytharok, but really just wants to go home. Mokai, raised to be flawless and invisible, begins to crack under the weight of others’ expectations. Trained to serve, never to desire, he now is faced with choices that require more than perfection - they demand honesty. But everything and everyone around him seems to have their own private hidden agenda. As their world collides with an alien one, they are drawn into the long fogotten history of the First Gates and the mystery of Firme. They must confront the open secrets long ignored, the forces that shaped the very structure of the universe. In that shifting landscape, nothing remains as it was - not the world, not the balance of power, and certainly not who they believed themselves to be. For the greatest collision may not be between worlds - but between who they were, and who they are becoming. And that is only the beginning...

Meet Alex Knight, a hardworking young man burdened by crushing debt and a bleak future. When his new boss turns his life into a waking nightmare, Alex finds himself trapped in a job he can't escape, his future held hostage by the whims of a tyrant. Just when he believes he has one anchor left—his girlfriend's love—a devastating betrayal leaves him utterly broken. But then the world changes. The system descends, dragging everyone into a chaotic new reality. Alex becomes the first to sync with it, earning a mysterious title: [Apocalypse Baby] [You have awakened the skill: Exploding Touch] [Anything you touch turns into a bomb.] Armed with a deadly gift, Alex rises from the ashes of his former life to become an unstoppable force in an urban fantasy world where power rules and vengeance drives him forward.

He feels it, breaks under it, and then rebuilds from the wreckage. Some readers might call him dramatic. And they're right—this isn't a power fantasy about a flawless protagonist. It’s about a man clawing his way back with explosive power, raw emotion, and zero filters. If you're into emotionally intense underdogs who explode (literally and metaphorically), welcome to the ride.

A literal ‘red flag’ in a world that sees her as a threat. Excerpt: “You shouldn’t be here,” Zenon growled, his voice low, eyes dark with conflict as he leaned away. Elira looked up at him, lips parted and swollen. “Then why did you kiss me?” “I couldn’t resist you.” His arms tightened around her waist instead of letting go. “Then don’t,” she said, without breaking the gaze. “Remember, you asked for it.” Zenon’s eyes darkened with desire as his lips found the perfect spot on her neck. --- Elira Shaw was never meant to shine. Born an omega to a once-respected Beta bloodline, she’s lived as a ghost in her uncle's home, the acting Beta of the Ashfang Pack.

And from none other than the very mother who uses her… and perhaps, cherishes her too. Determined to protect her new life, Ember becomes the perfect daughter, the flawless princess. She learns to smile while wielding secrets, flawlessly playing the game of hearts and thrones among a royal family that wouldn’t hesitate to spill blood for power. Then he returns. Eight years later, Khaos BlueBlood is back to collect the price for saving her. A price so steep it unearths ancient truths and threatens everything she’s built.

Torn between the queen who forged her and the vampire who saved her, Ember must navigate a world of fire and betrayal—where loyalty is born through pain, and love is just another form of control. Especially when the witch powers she never had begin to awaken—and they all lead back to him. One wears a stolen crown. One sharpens a stolen daughter. One hides a dagger behind every smile. And in a world where fire feeds the fallen, only the cruel will survive.

After centuries of ruling the underworld with terrifying power, Lilith dies in an epic battle, only to be reborn in the human world. But instead of a grand rebirth as a queen of darkness, she's reincarnated as something far more mundane—a secretary. Rather than despair, Lilith finds this new life amusing. After all, who would suspect the devil herself to be working a 9-to-5? Settling into her new reality, Lilith embraces her role, living in a luxurious apartment and working diligently in her office. Though her devilish instincts are hard to suppress, she's determined to be the perfect secretary. But when people push her too far, the devil within still comes out to play. When a creep in the office dares to look at her the wrong way, she calmly fixes her gaze on him. "You keep staring like that, and I'll show you what a broken wrist feels like." The man quickly scurries away, leaving Lilith with a satisfied smirk. Even the rich, entitled girl from accounting isn't safe from her wrath. "You think you can push me around just because you've got money? I've burned entire kingdoms for less. Don't test me." She says this with a calm smile, her eyes glinting dangerously. The day continued like that—stopping creeps in their tracks, putting rude heiresses in their place, and being the flawless secretary she intended to be. But, of course, her boss—the CEO—had his eyes on her, more curious than ever. And while the entire office might fear her or wonder about her, she remained blissfully indifferent. This was fun. And she wasn't here to impress anyone but herself. Who knew being a secretary could be so... interesting?

They were the Six Primordial Dragons, the architects of reality’s six fundamental forces, entrusted as guardians of this reborn world. But power breeds corruption.

In a shattered world once governed by flawless systems and divine-class AIs, Kael is born broken. No class. No stats. No Soulcode. In a world where strength is defined by the system embedded in your very essence, Kael is a Null—a glitch, an error, a discard. He was meant to be deleted. But something went wrong. When a system fracture triggers a global reboot, Kael awakens with access not to a class… but to the roots of the system itself. He can read hidden code. Hijack broken skills.

With every secret uncovered, the system adapts. And with every level… he becomes something less human. Or something more. He was supposed to be nothing. Now he might be the only one who can break the system—or remake it in his own image.

The boardroom was a wall of glass and judgment. At exactly 8:59 AM, Arielle pushed through the doors in a sharp navy dress that clung to her like confidence had been stitched into every seam. Her heels echoed across the floor as she approached the long, polished table where half a dozen stone-faced executives sat, murmuring over papers and steaming coffee. Dominic was already seated at the head of the table. He didn't look at her. Not at first. But he felt her enter. Just like gravity feels the moon. She took her spot near the screen, placed the tablet in front of her, and exhaled slowly. "You ready?" Dominic asked quietly, his voice low, unreadable. She turned to him with a sharp smile. "Born ready." He finally met her gaze—and for a second, something flickered behind his eyes. Not approval. Not yet. But something… closer than before. "Gentlemen," Dominic said to the table. "This is Arielle Sinclair. She'll be walking you through the market projections and proposed strategy updates for Q3." One of the older men raised a brow. "Her?" Arielle didn't flinch. "Yes. Me," she said, smiling sweetly. "Try to keep up." There was a pause—half stunned, half amused—and then, silence She launched into her presentation. And she nailed it. Clear. Sharp. Confident. She wasn't just parroting facts; she owned the numbers. Her explanations were quick, her slides precise, and her delivery unapologetically fierce. For the first time, they weren't looking at her legs or her lipstick. They were looking at her mind. And Dominic? He watched every second like a man watching a match ignite in a room full of gas. At one point, their eyes locked—and she saw it. A crack in his armor. Not desire. Not annoyance. But something like… respect. And it made her stomach flip in a way no designer bag ever had. When she concluded with a succinct, "Any questions?" the room was quiet. Then, one of the board members nodded. "Well done, Miss Sinclair. Concise and well-structured." Dominic didn't say a word. But his fingers drummed once against the table. A silent approval. The meeting ended. As the board members filed out, Dominic remained seated, watching her. She turned to him slowly.
